Chapter 157 It's finally Xijing's turn to eat melons online
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Do you want to go shopping in Xijing City? ]
Daju: [Go, and find the location of the demon pill of time sequence. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [We should take him with us, right?]
Daju: [Well, just ask your mother to accompany us. ]
So, Lin Yunzhi took Tian Lele, Tian Xiaoxiao, Ade, Ruozhu and a cat and went out.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Xijing is much more prosperous than Shengjing.]
Daju: [Under your father's governance, Shengjing will definitely surpass Xijing in five years.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Nangong Rui is working hard now, but my father may not be able to catch up with Xijing.]
Daju: [Did you hear any sound? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I heard that there were snakes, insects, birds and beasts all along the way, and they were all very talkative.]
Daju: [Tell me about it.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The flour sold by Huangji Flour Shop is mixed with talcum powder.]
Daju: [What is talcum powder? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [A kind of stone, when ground into powder, is much heavier than flour. It is not easy to detect when added to flour. If you add a little bit of eight ounces of flour, it will reach one pound.]
Daju: [Is this kind of stone common? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [They can be seen everywhere in the mountains outside Xijing.]
Daju: [Will talcum powder be harmful to people if eaten? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Talc powder may irritate the gastrointestinal tract and cause nausea and loss of appetite.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It may also irritate the abdomen, causing severe abdominal pain and frequent toileting all day long.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It is more likely to cause heavy metal poisoning, which can damage liver and kidney functions.]
Daju: [No one noticed? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Who would suspect that there is something wrong with the flour? Besides, the officials in Xijing are not as fair and honest as my father.]
When the people of Xijing first heard the two voices, they thought it was a young man and a young lady from some family chatting. They looked around but didn't see anyone chatting.
There were a few peddlers in the crowd who were selling ironware from Shengjing to Xijing. They were very happy to see Tian Xiaoxiao.
You can also eat melons in Xijing!
But, I haven’t seen Miss Tian for only half a year, how come she has grown so tall?
Several peddlers explained what the sound they heard was and reminded everyone to just eat the melons and not let Tian Xiaoxiao know, otherwise there would be no melons to eat in the future.
The people of Xijing were shocked. How could there be such a magical thing in the world?
All I could hear was Tian Xiaoxiao and another voice continuing.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, what melon did you eat last night? ]
Daju: [Jixiangju, the largest restaurant in Xijing, boils the swill, scoops out the oil, and reuses it in various stir-fried dishes.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Isn’t this just gutter oil? How evil!]
Daju: [Do you know this oil? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [People of our generation were victims, and I guess we've suffered a lot! ]
Daju: [How do you distinguish waste cooking oil? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [There are many ways. You don’t eat human food. At most, we can just stop going to Jixiangju for dinner.]
Daju thought about it and thought that this was also a good deed, and his cultivation would increase faster: [I want to know.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay, I'll teach you a few simple and rough methods. First, look. The color of waste cooking oil is usually darker, and may appear darker, while normal cooking oil is lighter and transparent.
Second, smell. Waste oil usually has a rancid smell or other odors, while normal cooking oil should have a fresh smell.
Third, touch. The texture of waste oil is thicker and has a higher viscosity, while normal cooking oil is lighter and has a lower viscosity.
Fourth, listen to the burning sound. If you drip oil on paper and burn it, a sound like firecrackers may indicate that it is waste oil.
Fifth, high temperature reaction. If waste oil is used for high temperature cooking and the color becomes darker, it may be waste oil.
Daju: [I got it. If we go to Jixiangju, can you taste the taste of gutter oil? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Of course! ]
Daju: [Do you want to try it? ]
The onlookers also want to verify it.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [You can go to the restaurant, but the most important thing is to find out where Jixiangju makes the gutter oil.]
Daju: [The workshop is at Maji Oil Shop across the street from Jixiangju. Jixiangju buys all its oil from there. Every day, the shopkeeper of Jixiangju would have people carry more than a dozen buckets of swill to Maji Oil Shop.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Wouldn't it be more direct if we went to arrest them?]
Daju: [We are unfamiliar with the place, Jingzhao Yi will not stand on our side, it will be useless even if we catch him.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Does Jixiangju only sell its gutter oil to ordinary people? When dignitaries go there for dinner, they use high-quality oil?]
Daju: [It should be. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Ordinary people tend to have abdominal pain and diarrhea after eating it, and then they go to see a doctor. Which is the most popular clinic in Xijing? ]
Daju: [Xuanhutang. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If I’m guessing correctly, the owners of these two families are relatives.]
The onlookers whispered: Hai Tianlan, the owner of Jixiangju, and the owner of Xuanhutang are in-laws.
Daju: [Look, Jixiangju is in front. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Let’s wait at the door. Some people have poor gastrointestinal function and will have stomachaches after eating.]
The spectators followed along.
Sure enough, not long after, a man in gray cloth, holding his stomach and leaning against the wall, walked onto the street and headed straight for Xuanhu Hall.
Xuanhu Hall is next to Jixiangju, and the two houses are twenty meters apart.
A curious person followed and heard the diagnosis made by the doctor at Xuanhu Hall: the patient did not cover himself with a blanket properly when sleeping at night, and caught a cold, which resulted in abdominal pain and possible diarrhea.
He prescribed three days' worth of medicine, twenty wen per set, to be taken three times a day, plus a consultation fee of twenty wen, a total of two hundred wen.
In the past, the people of Xijing trusted Xuanhu Tang and would come here for treatment for both major and minor illnesses. But today, it seems that the doctors here have absolutely no conscience.
The curious person returned and quietly told the people around him.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How terrible! I dare not come to such a restaurant. Look, in just a short while, three people have already gone from Jixiangju to Xuanhutang. Have the people of Xijing never suspected that there was something wrong with Jixiangju?]
Daju: [The backer behind Jixiangju is Nangong Li. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No wonder, even if there is a problem, others dare not sue. Moreover, when people go to Xuanhutang for treatment, the doctors will definitely use various illnesses to cover up the problem and will not tell the patients that they have eaten the gutter oil from Jixiangju.]
The curious: It's amazing, it can predict the future! Eating melons is really interesting.
After eating a wave of melons, the people of Xijing understood one thing: they should eat melons quietly and with their brains.
In the end, Tian Xiaoxiao did not go into Jixiangju for the sake of her own stomach.
Don't enter the door.
After this incident of eating melons, no ordinary people went to Jixiangju to eat anymore.
